I have MS with lesions in cervical spine, brain (more than 26) and a lesion in my thoracic spine. I had an EKG so that I could go back to Gilenya. The result of the EKG showed heart rate of 96 and Prolonged QT Wave. My last EKG in 2014 was normal. In addition, I take BP medicine (Benicar), DM-II (Metformin), and a long list of other meds to deal with MS, Barrett's Espophagus, Hiatal Hernia, GERD, HX of bleeding Duodenal ulcer, Sleep Apnea and Restless Leg Syndrome. I had been on Aubagio from 1/2016 to June 2016 but had allergic reaction to the Lactose in the pill as well as significant peripheral neuropathy. An MS specialist said that I had an exacerbation while on it. My reg neuro didn't believe my symptoms were related to the drug but I finally stood up for myself and said that it was in the side effects. During the spring thorugh the summer I have been experiencing pressure on the left side of shoulder blade/squeezing feeling and hearing my heart pounding in ears, etc. I am also a Factor V Leiden carrier and have had trouble with leg swelling and unusual brusing when traveling in Aug/Sept. I am sorry I did not realize that this was a pay for answer site. I have been studying on Mayo Clinic webside and knew that there were some free sites to ask questions. I live in an underserved area in Fayetteville, AR for the last 2 yrs and they are slower than heck getting to anything. Again sorry for your time.
